⏰ Transfer Window Timeline

This year’s Premier League transfer window has two phases:

  • Special domestic registration window: June 1–10

  • Main window: June 16 – September 1 (7PM BST)

So far, Premier League clubs have spent over €2 billion, surpassing the combined total of all other top European leagues. But does big spending mean better football?

🏟️ Club-by-Club Highlights

Liverpool

  • Major signings include Florian Wirtz (€116m), Hugo Ekitike (€79m), Jeremie Frimpong (€29.5m), and Milos Kerkez (€40m).

  • Reportedly preparing a £120m bid for Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, which could break the all-time EPL record.

  • Harvey Elliott is considering his options due to limited playing time, with Aston Villa and Brighton showing interest.

Arsenal

  • Acquired Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5m) and Noni Madueke (£48m) from Chelsea.

  • Signed Martin Zubimendi (£55.8m) from Athletic Bilbao and Christian Nørgaard (£10m) from Brentford to bolster midfield options.

Chelsea

  • Let Madueke leave to Arsenal and are now targeting Sambasyms from RB Leipzig.

Manchester United

  • So far, they’ve signed Carlos Alcaraz, Thierno Barry, and Mark Travers, but full-backs and midfield remain key priorities.

Tottenham Hotspur

  • Eyeing a discounted return for João Palhinha, and also monitoring Benjamin Šeško from Leipzig as a long-term attacking option.

Brentford

  • Forward Yoane Wissa has expressed unease over contract talks; Newcastle’s £25m bid was rejected, but the saga continues.

⚽ Spending vs. Strategy: Is It Worth It?

Critics argue that Premier League spending is outpacing its tactical and technical growth. While flashy signings dominate headlines, the question remains: will these new squads deliver on the pitch?

As the new season approaches, it's clear that the battle for the Premier League crown won't just be fought with goals—but also with smart recruitment, chemistry, and patience.
